Each other.

Negotiate for the most salary, the most coordinator budget, the biggest NIL pool. Why wouldn’t you?

He may not even know which job he’s taking. All things being equal they likely have an idea on preference.

The Ole Miss ultimatum changes the timeline but not the process. Just keep asking each party to up the ante until one one stands atop.

The ole miss ultimatum is not real, they are not going to fire him and pay him a buyout, on top of having to hire another coach.

Mississippi is one stolen chip bag away from being a 3rd world country. They have a couple boosters who foot the entire bill and they can only do so much.

Well the ultimatum has been reported by several news sources now, so it seems like it is real.

And what does that make Louisiana, especially Baton Rouge?

Glass houses....

Whether LA or MS, both points are irrelevant. People in Lane’s income bracket are going to live like kings wherever they call home.

This will come down to which program can provide a HC with the most resources to win.

It creates so much anxiety at these schools especially if it is only about money, budget, and NIL. The LSU plane trip could very well be just a leverage getter to squeeze Florida or OM for more budget/NIL.

If you aren't trying to create leverage why fly your family on a boosters plane. otherwise you would keep a low profile and fly a charter.

It’s a bluff, don’t be silly. It would be moronic to fire an active sitting coach in a playoff run based off speculation he may leave and reward him with almost 40 million.
I really hope some of you don’t run businesses because sheesh.

Much of BR is a dump for sure, but LSU is not Poverty University like Ole Miss.
